Technique Tuesday — Yoga for Runners Video (Jasyoga Pre-Run Sequence)

Got a half or full marathon on the horizon this fall? Though marathon running is one of the most rewarding athletic challenges, it's also one of the most strenuous. Save yourself from the dreaded “marathon shuffle” and help reduce your risk for injury by keeping your body limber. Maintaining pliability in the hips and hamstrings requires daily care, but those muscles will thank you later when you’re tearing up that 26th mile!
